Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide good protection from termites because they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, if there is a gap in the chemical application, either from being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites may identify the gaps and gain ingress.

The most commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which has a residual life of as much as five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t sensed by termites, and therefore the termites do not avoid contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the termites are killed, and can pass the chemical on to other colony members, therefore resulting in a compounding effect.

Because termites are unable to identify these non-repellents, they identify no distinction between areas that are treated and others which are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

The most widely used non-repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Understanding Various Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from structures by placing bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix rather than the timber they were consuming. Worker white ants then feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

Continuing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed pest activity. In this way, the entire nest can be sradicated even if its location is not known.

In-Ground Systems may be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is particularly useful when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they intercept the termites before the perimeter is breached.
